Nice idea. We can never have too much disruptive ideas. Wish you find your cofounder.

This is the whole issue with open classes and many libraries (transitive dependencies make this issue exponentially more likely, on the number of libraries). I have commented on this issue a while back ( http://bit.ly/cNez8i ), and some peo

Great link. I knew monkeybars once, but totally forgo about it. It seems complement swing with what glade does to gtk (and its code generators do, from taking xml and turning into python/ruby/perl,etc files).

This is not really accurate. When using java, you will not use JSP, JSTL, JSF, Play, Wicket, STripes, Tapestry, etc, all at the same time . Unless you are crazy. The same way, in Ruby, you will not use ERB, Haml, Erector, Markaby, or the o

Twitter provides pretty much the same info through its api. Granted, it doesn't not disclose email.

My suggestion: make a simple app in both. Try out framework features you want, such as routing, source reloading, view support, testability, modularity (can I use MongoDB instead of a SQL for my models?), low level features, anything else i

Inversion of Control is a core aspect of any framework (Ralph Johnson discusses it quite nicely on "Components, Frameworks, Patterns" http://st-www.cs.illinois.edu/users/johnson/cs329/2003/frame... ). Main points: two frameworks can be ver

It is a good way to start. It is a bad way to end up. Dynamic languages can get away with not using IoC containers for large projects: http://onestepback.org/articles/depinj/index.html On static languages, using a dynamic language DSL to

Glad to hear that. Steve Yegge's post I hold dearest to my heart are: Dynamic Languages Strike Back, Rhinos and Tigers and Rhino on Rails (for controversial reasons and the guts to do it more than anything else).

I don't think it's likely that the creators of HN would support this, as it would conflict with a startup Y Combinator invested in (Disqus, http://disqus.com/about/ ), whose sole purpose is to provide coment system for sites and blogs. O

Guess TwitPic disaggres that "Every Site Should Have A Data Portability Policy": http://www.techcrunchit.com/2010/06/23/why-every-site-should... . This episode can backfire on TwitPic a lot if users decide to leave it, and even more if Pos

It is interesting to note that Khan Academy even has playlists interesting for startups: http://www.youtube.com/user/khanacademy#p/c/CADCB4565CFACEBF It covers the more financial part of it (equity, dilution, and things like that).

Great! No link process install necessary at all! Doesn't get much more noob friendly than that. And for first lines of code, you might try: (map (fn [x] (+ 5 x)) [1 2 3]) which is equivalent to (map #(+ 5 %1) [1 2 3]) Which oddly requires a

Several of them are over-designed. But the biggest issue, IMHO, is that the lack of closures (which is planned to come in the next version) made a proliferation of classes that would have been removed. Just pass a closure instead. Lock api'

This newcomer experience felt to me like someone trying too much too soon. I picked enclojure ide for netbeans, and started it in 10 minutes. If I did not have netbeans, I'd just have to install it, and add the plugin. Using the repl was as

Be very wary of SproutCore. It is not only a Rich Internet Application framework. It is also a MVC framework in javascript, which adds a lot of complexity to the design (mostly when compared to GWT and cappucinno). On the other hand, its de

PG was very eloquent on his take as why this might not be such a great idea (from http://www.paulgraham.com/ideas.html ): Actually, startup ideas are not million dollar ideas, and here's an experiment you can try to prove it: just try to

I agree that the idea is secondary, as it usually changes. I'd really recommend you read Paul Graham's essay to understand his arguments that ideas are secondary, that co-founders matter a lot, and why you should/ should not start a startup

This has been said already on very old posts, but an API would great. General retrieving/posting/searching capabilities would be great. For authenticated users, being able to list the user's own up votes and down votes. Would make it easier

Strange that none noted that identity based encryption (IBE for the acquainted ones)solves this problem quite easily (more on http://www.voltage.com/technology/ibe.htm ). Boneh and Franklin scheme was the first proposed one, but nowadays t
